If you are having trouble connecting your phone number, it is likely that you are having trouble receiving your confirmation code. The issue could be with your phone carrier, a poor internet connection, or the SMS delivery. The SMS delivery could also be slow, as some users take up to a few hours to receive their SMS.
If the connection fails, you can resend the code by tapping Resend text message during the connection process or try again later. If you choose to try again later, you can access the phone connection screen by going to Menu > Settings and tapping Connect phone number.
A phone connection is not required to use Valora or connect with dapps. However, it is required to participate in rewards programs, and to send funds via phone number.
